Figure practice is like a workout with no sweating or being out of breath...unless you count how winded you get when you stand up from the couch. And let's not forget the muscle aches you get from using your flabby arms to wipe cheez-it flakes off your rotund belly. So it's nothing like working out.

Some random figure practice. Gotta make those drawing gains (right @TheRyanGains?). Using this reference site to cycle through pics. 5 minutes for each image. I may have paused it on the pirate one because I liked it so much. Saw Sycra do this and it seems like good pracitce.

After drawing on a screen for so long going back to drawing on a tablet where you aren't looking at your hand is still kind of weird. The upside is that my hand never gets in the way, but it's so hard to get strokes to come out correctly.

It is nice using photoshop an my desktop though. Now I'm playing with power.

According to the Sumerians the Abzu was the great freshwater ocean that the world floated upon. It was thought to be the source of all freshwater and was worshipped. Of course they also dumped poop into their rivers...so...not totally reverent, I guess.

I imagine I will come back to this one to do more work on it. Time will tell.

I drew this while watching their live-stream, based on an audience members suggestion. I may start asking FB for suggestions and doing more of these. They are quick and fun and most inportantly: not work that I should be doing (I'm just guessing that that is how a colon should be used).

I have been trying to post this for 4 hours now. My heart isn't in the pitiful attempt at comedy that I would normally consider adequate. I now hate gorillas. In fact, all primates might want to avoid me in the near future. I hope you enjoy this image, because I don't.
